Eighth Blackbird has been named the inaugural recipient of Chamber Music America’s Visionary Award, created this year to recognize chamber music professionals who have led the field in creative thinking and innovation. Eighth Blackbird celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year with much fanfare, this latest accolade following the group’s fourth Grammy Award along with the prestigious MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions, both announced in February 2016. The Visionary Award will be presented at the annual Chamber Music America conference in January 2017.
